[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The beverage industry is entering a crucial phase: by July 20, 2026,<\/strong> beverage cans with internal linings containing Bisphenol A (BPA)<\/strong> will no longer be allowed on the European market. The deadline is set by Regulation (EU) 2024\/3190<\/strong>, which came into force on January 20, 2025<\/strong>, introducing a general ban on the use of BPA in food contact packaging. Manufacturers of beer, soft drinks, energy drinks<\/strong>, and RTD beverages<\/strong> are racing to upgrade their packaging technology, aiming to ensure regulatory compliance without compromising product quality and stability.<\/p>\n For years, Bisphenol A (BPA)<\/strong> has been used in the internal linings of cans to protect beverages from corrosion and spoilage. Today, following EFSA’s<\/strong> assessment of potential health risks, the European Union has banned its use in food packaging, forcing the industry to rapidly transition to safe alternatives.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row nav_skin=”light” consent_include=”include” el_design=”{“desktop“:{“margin-top“:“10“}}”][vc_column css_animation=””][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The European regulation provides for different transition periods to allow companies to gradually adapt to the ban on BPA in food packaging. For the beverage sector, starting July 20, 2026<\/strong>, single-use cans with coatings containing Bisphenol A will no longer be marketed, while for sectors such as fruit and vegetables and seafood, the deadline has been extended to January 20, 2028.<\/strong><\/p>\n A flexible period is also foreseen to dispose of stocks: cans regularly placed on the market within the deadlines can be refilled for an additional 12 months, and packaged products can remain on sale until stocks run out, encouraging a gradual transition to BPA-free solutions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row nav_skin=”light” consent_include=”include” el_design=”{“desktop“:{“margin-top“:“10“}}”][vc_column css_animation=””][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The real challenge now is industrial.
